How it connects.

Source

The web

Any public page, rendered, through managed proxies

Engine

Import.io

Rendering, proxy routing, captcha handling, extraction

Path

Import.io MCP

https://mcp.import.io/mcp

Destination

Claude

Live, structured web data as tools in Claude on the web and Claude Desktop.

What teams do with it.

Research a market in one message

Ask for prices, stock and promotions across retailers and get a table back, fetched live rather than recalled from training.

Compare the price of the Dyson V15 at Amazon, Best Buy and Target today, with links.

Read pages that block ordinary browsing

Requests run through managed proxies in the country you name, with captcha handling, so the answer reflects the page a real shopper sees.

Open ikea.co.uk from the UK and list the five cheapest sofas with prices.

Turn a page into rows

Name the fields and Claude calls importio_extract_data, returning clean rows you can paste into a sheet.

Extract title, price, rating and review count for every product on this category page.

Set it up.

  1. In Claude, open Settings, then Connectors, and choose Add custom connector.
  2. Name it Import.io Web Scraper and paste the URL https://mcp.import.io/mcp.
  3. Select Connect and sign in to Import.io. OAuth stores the credentials for you.
  4. Turn the connector on from the tools menu in a chat and ask for data.

Questions.

Does it work in Claude Desktop too?

Yes. A custom connector added in Claude’s settings is available in Claude on the web and in Claude Desktop.

Is there a Claude marketplace listing?

The Import.io listing is coming to the Claude marketplace. The custom connector is the same product today: same endpoint, same tools, same billing.

What does the Import.io MCP cost?

Signup includes 10,000 successful calls. After that it is $0.0002 per successful call. Setup requests, tool listings, malformed requests, blocked requests and failed upstream calls are never billed, and you can set a monthly spend limit that stops paid usage when reached.

OAuth or API key?

Use OAuth in interactive clients that support it: the client opens a sign-in, stores the credentials and reuses them. Use an API key for scripts, servers and clients without OAuth, sent as Authorization: Bearer mcp_live_…. Keep keys out of prompts and shared config files.

Which tools does the server expose?

importio_web_fetch, importio_render, importio_extract_data and importio_get_html, page helpers such as importio_page_text, importio_page_links and importio_search_cards, and browser actions for clicks, form input, scrolling, pagination, waits, screenshots and captcha handling. Requests can pick a proxy country and type, with bounded retries when a page blocks.
